The Button You only gotta push it once
It rides on Rocco’s wrist like any old watch nothing flashy, nothing worth a second look. But The Button isn’t for telling time. It’s for ending it.
When things go south, it shifts snaps into an HK417, no questions asked. Clean, precise, loud when it needs to be. Just like Rocco. It can change into other tools too, whatever helps get the job done or keeps eyes off the real heat.
This ain’t a gadget. It’s a promise.
You mess with the Marino family, you get The Button.
This Artifact can change its appearance. When not transformed, it is roughly the same size as a Leather Watch (No Metal) and just as difficult to conceal.
Spend a Quick Action to activate. This Artifact changes into one of the following Objects: Heckler & Koch 417. This lasts until you decide to end the Effect, which may be done as a Free Action.
The new object's appearance can mimic specific items (such as a particular painting, a certain person’s ID, etc), but must be of a similar size and weight to this Artifact.
Your Artifact makes a genuine transformation into the new Object; it is not illusory, and the Object has fully normal and expected functionality. Any functionality which the Artifact previously possessed will not be useable until the transformation is ended.
When used as identification and scanned, the scanner will act appropriately and bring up appropriate generic information. Further searches for the identity in the computer will turn up no results. This will not open security doors on its own.
- Changing the Artifact’s appearance does not allow you to conceal its Alien nature while any of its other Effects are in use.

The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).

Electromagnetic Reconfiguration
> RECONFIGURING SUIT APPEARANCE... <
While the Shock Suit usually tends to be a bulky set of armoring, through the power of magnetic plating and warping the electromagnetic spectrum via magnetispectral threading, The Sparkman can now return to being a somewhat ordinary tax paying citizen.
Usually these clothes come as a motorcycle suit of some sort, with the shock suit's own helmet turning into a generic navy blue motorcycle helmet.

The Firms Uniform
“We file the forms and have the uniforms.”
When “The Firm’s Uniform” is activated, the transformation it undergoes is both subtle and imbued with an air of professional gravitas. The artifact, perhaps initially resembling a nondescript piece of legal attire or accessory, begins to shimmer with an ethereal gloss reminiscent of the polished sheen on a lawyer’s briefcase or the gleam of a well-maintained courtroom. This visual cue is brief, serving as a prelude to the transformation, much like the opening remarks in a meticulously prepared legal argument.
As the item changes, its edges blur momentarily, mimicking the effect of pages flipping rapidly through a legal tome, searching for the right precedent or statute. This transition is smooth and deliberate, echoing the precision and confidence of a seasoned attorney presenting their case. The new form materializes with the precision of a well-drafted contract, each detail snapping into place with the finality of a judge’s gavel.
